My Type S tires are cupping under 10,000 miles

Ps4s have a 30k mile warranty. I would tell the dealer to go to Michelin since they believe they can prove a tire issue or determine where the suspension on your 10k car has gone so wrong it would cause cupping.

Alignment on my car with 180miles on it was off. Alignment won't cause cupping, unless it's a bad ball joint and you'd really feel that.

Agree with everyone else. There is no cupping there. Tire looks great. Service department is full of BS.

I’d change the title of this to “My local dealer is trying to sodomize me”. LOL

The dealership told me my tires are cupping. I currently have less than 10,000 miles on my 24 type S. I do not track my car and I have not driven it more than 2 hours away. They are suggesting I purchase new tires. They have not checked my alignment or suspension. Is this normal? Should I fight back? Or shouldn’t just ignore it?
I plan to buy new All weather tires before winter. But I feel like this is just an excuse from the dealership to not root cause the issue. Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you look carefully in the warranty there is a provision for an algnment within the first 12,000 miles.

I’ve had nothing but problems since I bought this car. From the day we purchased it to now. Nothing with the car but dislike the dealership so much!

no other Acura dealerships around? You don' t have to do maintenance with the dealer that you purchased the car from. The complementary service deal is a manufacturer warranty and you can get the service at any Acura.

Just my $.02.
Cupped tires sound a lot like a bad wheel bearing. You'd know.
